Writing and Therapy - A Quick PS

Here's an afterthought from my previous post. I've just been reading interviews with Edward St Aubyn as I am so enjoying his novel, Mother's Milk.  No writer could have drawn more comprehensively on their own experience than he has, so I was interested in his remark about writing and therapy.

'If it does have any therapeutic value, the only way to get access to it is to write without any therapeutic intent. You transform experience into, for want of a better word, art."

 Enough, already. See you soon.
